  • 1881 - In a game in Albany, Troy's Roger Connor hits the first grand slam in National League history. The blow comes off Worcester's Lee Richmond with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning and wins the game 8-7.

  • 1918 - Players on both sides threaten to strike the World Series unless they are guaranteed $2,500 to the winners and $1,000 each for the losers. They back off, however, when told they will appear greedy while their countrymen are fighting World War I. On the field, Hippo Vaughncomes back with two days of rest for the Cubs and blanks the Red Sox 3-0 in Game Five.

  • 1919 - Cleveland's Ray Caldwell pitched a 3-0 no-hitter against the New York Yankees.

  • 1924 - At the Polo Grounds, the Giants rip the Braves 22-1 in the opener of a doubleheader. Frankie Frisch goes six-for-six before grounding out.

  • 1950 - Joe DiMaggio became the first to hit three home runs in one game at Griffith Stadium as the New York Yankees beat the Washington Senators, 8-1.

  • 1969- The New York Mets swept the Montreal Expos in a doubleheader at Shea Stadium, 3-2 in 12 innings and 7-1. The victories moved the Mets into first place in the National League East for the first time ever on top.

  • 1974 - Lou Brock tied Maury Wills' single-season stolen base record with a steal in the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies. He broke the record with steal No. 105 in the seventh inning.

  • 1977 - Roy Howell hit two home runs, two doubles and a single and drove in nine runs as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees, 19-3.

  • 1978 - The Red Sox throw 22-year-old Bobby Sprowl at the Yankees and the lefty last just two-thirds of an inning as the Yankees win 7-4. New York outhits the Red Sox 67-21, and outscores them 42-9, in a sweep that leaves the teams in a tie for first place, and caps a remarkable march to the top from fourth place, 14 games out.

  • 1980 - Bill Gullickson struck out eighteen - the most ever by a rookie - as the Montreal Expos beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-2.

  • 1989 - Five days after hitting a home run for the Yankees in a 12-2 win over the Mariners, Deion Sanders returns a punt 68 yards for a touchdown in his NFL debut with the Atlanta Falcons. He is the first player to accomplish both these feats in the same week at the professional level.

  • 1997 - Mark McGwire joined Babe Ruth as the only players in Major League history with consecutive 50-homer seasons by hitting a 446-foot shot off Shawn Estes in the third inning of St. Louis' game against at San Francisco. McGwire, who hit a Major League-leading fifty-two homers for Oakland last season, became the first player with back-to-back 50-homer seasons since Ruth did it in 1927 and 1928.

I go to Buffalo Wild Wings or a sports bar that shows the fights whenever I want to watch them. I’m not paying $60+ whenever I can get dinner for less than $20 and watch the fight.
